Yes, but a lot of content we access on the Internet contains URIs. This
proposed DNS system potentially lets me reach a web resource on the web
from another planet, but the URIs referenced by the resource could be
broken, could reference a legit different resource or could even be
spoofed. The phone communication doesn't transmit phone numbers.

My point is avoiding the ambiguity. ietf.org would be the same resource
both on the Earth and on Mars (referencing the Earth website).

Again, not a fan of exchanging information that have a different meaning
(URIs that reference different resources) on the two ends of the
information exchange.
